RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPOINT Mark Howard to the At-Large Alternate Seat 1 on the Alcohol and Other Drugs Advisory Board for a term ending June 30, 2024, as recommended by the Health Services Director.

FISCAL IMPACT:

None.

BACKGROUND:

The mission of the Alcohol and Other Drugs Advisory Board (AODAB) is to identify needs in the community with regards to substance use prevention or treatment. The findings and recommendations are provided to the Board of Supervisors, the Health Services Department, Behavioral Health Division, and the Alcohol and Other Drugs Services (AODS) Administration. The AODAB is comprised of five Supervisorial District Seats, six At-Large Member Seats, and three At-Large Alternate Seats.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

Multiple outreach efforts were conducted to ensure diverse community representation prior to receiving applications. Dr. Howard’s application is the result of the outreach conducted by staff. The AODAB's Executive Committee unanimously recommends Dr. Howard’s appointment to the At Large Alternate Seat 1.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The seat will remain unfilled, and this will potentially make it difficult to achieve a quorum and will lessen the viewpoint of communities impacted by substance use issues in AOD Board deliberations.
